Tracker for ArcGIS is now available for ArcGIS Online! 

This new location tracking capable app is available like as an organization extension inside of ArcGIS Online.

The Tracker for ArcGIS mobile app is available as a premium app for Android and iOS devices that is available with any user type, including Viewer.

It is ideal for tracking your field personnel, employees, contractors. Esri’s Jeff Shaner enumerates 7 ways where you can use Tracker:

1. Planned Community Events – Use to enhance operational awareness when hosting events by knowing where coordinators, volunteers and medical staff are and use the tracks to improve next year’s planning. 

2. Unplanned Events – Enhance awareness by knowing where responder are at all times, overlay CAD incidents and dispatch the nearest responder. Use tracks to aid SAR efforts, validate damage assessment reports, monitor field observers. 
3. Level of Service – Use tracks to quantify the time contractors are working for you and ensure that you are receiving the level of service commitment you are paying for. Compare the location and time to the work you are billed for. 
4. Proof of Work – When performing a gas leak survey, plowing snow off of roads, picking up trash, delivering goods you may need to prove where your workers traveled for regulatory purposes, for liability purposes. 
5. Creating new location data – Record where your staff and contrators drive so you know what roads they travel on. You can see roads on aerial imagery but what is actually being driven? Are they taking the most efficient route? 
6. Distributed workforce – Engineers, sales teams, executive, service technicians, event staff, health professionals travel frequently. If an event is approaching or unfolding, you can account for where they are and know if you need to get them out of harm’s way. 
7. Law Enforcement – Using mounted GPS systems you know where officers when they are in their vehicles. What happens when they are out of the car? When they are helping other agencies in a response effort.
